Summary

I stared writing these stories, which were initially Forever Knight, with Highlander being added to the mix a bit later, with a group of friends on IRC back in 1996. They were just for fun, and we never really thought about posting them. Somewhere along the way, we started sharing them with other friends, and one thing led to another, and they started being posted. We all had our own characters and we went in something of a round robin fashion. You had to let the others play with your characters, and deal with whatever happened to them in your next story (That's how Triona ended up as a hybrid vampire/immortal). Some of the pivotal ones, like the story introducing Methos to the series, or how Joe ended up a vampire, were never posted, but the incidents get referred to in following stories. I've done my best to try and organize some of the more dangling bits of canon in older stories, and clarify points in new stories.

Summary

I began this series in 2006, as a crossover with Grey's Anatomy. I thought Methos should be a doctor again, and decided Seattle Grace, the hospital in the TV series, was as good a place as any. That being said, I think you could read the stories and not ever have seen an episode of the show. Plus, the majority of the stories don't have Grey's characters in them - it's a very uncrossovery crossover. The hospital functions as a setting, and the series deals with the price of Immortality; a favoured theme of mine. The last story I wrote in the series was set in 2059, and had Duncan, but no Methos - very different for me! Though it did tie up all the loose ends, I'd always wanted to go back and write what happened after, but never did. Maybe one day.

The series title, Live To Tell, is from the Madonna song. It only came to me as I was writing the last story, that the lyrics were pretty much perfect.

Summary

These stories span the early 18th century through the present day, and encompass several fandoms, depending on the time period: Highlander, Pirates of the Caribbean, Magnificent Seven, and Iron Man/Avengers. The one constant is the Highlander concept of Immortality, and the series follows several canon and original Immortal characters across the centuries, along with an Immortal Ezra and Maude Standish from Magnificent Seven. The crossover element varies quite a bit from story to story, with some being strictly Highlander, to others being multi-verse crossovers.

Summary

The stories that follow take place between 1818 and 1821, when Mexico declares its independence from Spain. My concept is something like a serial, with somewhat self-contained segments. I have approximately ten segments plotted out, though if all those get written, we’ll all be surprised! The first story is set in the spring of 1818, and begins a few months after the end of the TV series.

All of the QoS characters are featured, along with original characters , and I’m going to try and stick with the QoS canon as much as possible. The show is really historically inaccurate, so I'll do my best to blend what the show presented with the reality of Spanish Alta California. Try being the operative word!
